I am so sorry to hear of Bob's passing. Although it has been years since the last time I saw Bob I will always have fond memories of him when I would visit Toni. May he rest in peace. My thoughts and prayers will be with the family.

Toni, Chris, Charlie Bob, and Scott,
sorry to hear of your loss. As you know, Bob was like a second
Dad to me when I was growing up. I can remember several great times with him. As time goes by, Bob will not be forgotten, but his wisdom will come out in you all and you will pass it to your children. That is how we remember our passed loved ones, through each other. Your all like brothers and sisters to me, if you need anything, even to just reminisce, don't hesitate to call or email me. Love you all.

I worked with Robert for only a short time at Wal-Mart. In that short time he became a really good, true friend. He will be missed here, but a welcomed Angel in Heaven. God bless you Robert and may His love shine on your family.

I worked with Bob overnight at the Charleston Walmart. He was always telling me jokes. It's strange not seeing him when I go in to work. I will miss him. He was a good guy. Keep them laughing up there Bob.

Bob, I'll always remember you as Bobby Kent. It's been many years since I've seen you, but I'm sorry for your children on the loss of the dad they love.
Kids, stay close to one another. That's important as you grow older.
I'm a first-cousin to your grandmother, Iris Dean.

To Bob's Family:
I am Bob's cousin; his grandmother was my Dad's sister, for those in the family who do not know me. I always enjoyed my visits with Bob through all the years we got together in Charleston. Bob's sense of humor always came through to everyone and that's why he always had lots of friends. I'm sorry I had not visited with Bob since his Mother's death, but please know I loved him and throughout all those years, felt close to him. May God Bless him, and his family.
